Dave, they are wonderful shots, and equal to several i have seen win monthly competitions at the camera club.

If you're not in one - get yourself joined up, because they would do well, and we can all do with a bit of back slapping at times... :tup:

Nice set. Great to be able to see the birds in action. Like nuthatch just leaving the branch, you could just about get a fagpaper under him/her.

These are the kinds of pics I want to take. I love taking shots of birds. One day, when I grow up and become just like you, I'll get it. ;)
